Please Note: This 30-Hour Maryland CDA Bridge Bundle may be used by Maryland childcare providers who have already completed their 90-hour certificate training in Maryland. If you work in a different state or have not completed the 90-hour certificate training, you will need to complete 120 clock hours of training from one of our 120-hour CDA training sets. Care Courses does not currently offer the 90-hour certification course in Maryland. You must have already completed your 90-hour certificate course with another trainer in Maryland.
